Hindutva in reverse gear just because of Obama visit!
Shit! Modi brand intact as his brand remains Hindutva!
Palash Biswas
The extolling of Nathuram Godse as well as the Sangh Parivar's menacing campaign on ghar wapsi and love jihad should persuade the Indian state to slot rightwing violence in the category of terrorism which is quite impossible as RSS now rules India.Since Barack Obama has a date in New Delhi,RSS has just opted for a back gear in its Pushpak Viman of cent percent Hindutva.
Mind you,Indian express just reports Another idea from Hindutva lab: 'bahu lao-beti bachao'!
2014, the year India became a Hindu state
The Indian secularism debate is over. How grave will the assault on minorities be?
Hindutva in reverse gear just because of Obama visit
Shit! Mosi brand intact as his brand remains Hindutva!
Despite rejected by Kashmir Valley and its demography,RSS is adamant to form its Pandit Raj in Kashmir and seems to all set to divide Kashmir on line of Uttar Pradesh,Bihar and MP to make in separate shafron zones as it had succeeded very well in reference to the makeover it ensured in Uttarakhand,Chhattishgargh and Jharkhand.But Kashmir is a different story and RSS has got a different agenda for Kashmir.It has to sustain the Army rule there culminating in annihilation of civic and hman rights.Moreover,article 370 has to be turminated. RSS is habitually very very efficient to accomplish its task of partition and division.
I have to leave Kolkata tonight and I am engaged for the day today.I may not update that regular until ninth January when I return.
It seems that PDP is in haste to rule Kashmir aligning with RSS.It would be disastrous for PDP,Kashmir and India as well.I have discussed it in detail and let us wait to see how the ball rolls in Kashmir! How the ice shapes in Kashmir just before the visit of US President Barack Obama!
Since the timing is very very important.RSS has rediscovered the Pushpak Viman of Ramayan.Thanks to its Vedic science,the RSS ancient aviation boasts to have a reverse gear also.
For me,I see Hindutva in back gear as CIA,Mossad,FBI takes over the Indian Capital New Delhi ina icy weather.The enveloping mist has been captured by US drone hegemony and the sky is under surveillance so is the land inhibited by biometric digital citizens and Have NOTs in majority waiting for cash subsidy restless.
Nuclear liability diluted,Ordinances making a heaven for US dollars,India is a rosy destination for Mr.US President omnipotent and RSS ensured to make defence dealing without any hype whatsoever making leagal the kick backs.Land acquisition is rather a cake walk now and 1884 law provisions revived once again.
RSS has just aborted the policy paralysis to streamline its mass destruction agenda of Zionist reforms of ethnic cleansing>Nothing else should be read in media reports which claims Modi enterprise to recover his endangered brand and reigning in the fire brand Hindutva Brigade.
Hindutva in reverse gear just because of Obama visit
Shit! Mosi brand intact as his brand remains Hindutva!
For RSS India remains the Aryawart and non Aryan,Hindu or Non Hindu demography specifically the SC,ST and Minority sections of the population should be either converted in Hindutva or simply have to be liquidated.
Rather After "love jihad" and "ghar wapsi", now its "bahu lao-beti bachao" campaign. Notwithstanding the controversy generated over the first two, Bajrang Dal, the youth wing of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, has announced the launch of "bahu lao-beti bachao" campaign.
Under it, they will "protect Hindu boys who marry Muslim or Christian girls" and will also create awareness among Hindu families "to protect their girls from falling in love or getting married to Muslim or Christian boys".
Bajrang Dal will launch the campaign from February 17 in Uttar Pradesh. Its office bearers here have already discussed the campaign at the "Hindu Sammelan" that the VHP recently organised across the country to mark its golden jubilee. VHP is an offshoot of Rashrtiya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Bajrang Dal state convenor Ajju Chauhan told The Indian Express that the "bahu lao-beti bachao" campaign will be a reply to "love jihad" and will seek to bring girls from Muslim or Christian communities as daughters-in-laws for Hindu families.
"In 'love jihad', Muslim youths use fake identity of being a Hindu to marry Hindu girls for which they get funding from different organisations. But, in 'bahu lao-beti bachao' campaign, we will neither ask the Hindu youths to cheat girls, nor provide them any money to lure girls of other communities," Chauhan said.
He said Bajrang Dal will only provide protection to the couple —- Hindu boy and Muslim or Christian girl – if they face threat from their families before or after marriage. Bajrang Dal will also help any such couple to get married if their families oppose the decision, he added.
The campaign will be launched in other states such as Kerala and Karnataka. A mass awareness campaign on 'bahu lao-beti bachao" will start soon through street plays, pamphlets and hoardings.

I have not encountered any communist on this planet who credits Nathuram Godse with annihilation of caste.Neither I met anyone who claims Godse being the Asli communist and the rest revisionist.It is an apolitical ideological campaign which has taken notes of Hastakshep post.It claims that minority might not be able to constitute a hegemony and compares the Kashmri demography with Naxal Activists.The reaction is quite an enlghtenment for me.Thanks Mr,Soibal Dasgupta.
The puzzle is about the three percent scientific hegemony population in Bengal which remains unsolved,however.
reference:Rejecting Kashmir Valley RSS is making in Bangladesh, Be Aware! RSS has to install a Kashmiri Pundit Raj in Kashmir
Soibal Dasgupta #palash_biswas I am an atheist and not a supporter of Hinduism or RSS... but I must say u r not spreading awareness but a collection of self assumed facts... this kind of act only builds foundation for people to believe in RSS propaganda more...
Your way of thinking is far bourgeois you need to study history and detailed observations are needed... regarding Godse... (yes he assassin gandhi) but do u know he faught against Casteism and untouchability along with veer savarkar... if u consider ur self to be a writer then u must know the facts and mention them without any kind of partiality!
Secondly you wrote about your communist ancestry but your way of writing is far influenced by the revisionist CPs...
Do u know how many kashmiri pandits are there.?
Not even 10% of the kashmiri population. You formed a story, wrote it and started spreading...
Could the naxals rule the states where there is their presence? The number of naxals in any state is far more than the kashmiri pundits...
Because of people like you... the real fact pamphlets of real communists don't reach the people... believe me after reading this dreamlike stuff none is going to read anything against Hindutva... because even the real facts would be compared to ur fantasies…

RSS Quietly Dumps Ghar Wapsi Pointman
Vasudha Venugopal |
New Delhi: |
Rajeshwar Singh, who steered the reconversion programme and also the Dharma Jagran campaign, shunted out after Modi expresses annoyance
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has quietly dumped its functionary at the centre of the controversial `Ghar Wapsi' reconversion into Hinduism programme in Uttar Pradesh that derailed last month's winter session of Parliament and has dented the Narendra Modi-led government's pro-development image in recent weeks.
Rajeshwar Singh, a 55-year-old RSS pracharak who single-handedly steered the Ghar Wapsi or reconversion programme and has also led its Dharma Jagran campaign since 1996, has been removed as coordinator of programmes in western Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. This, Sangh Parivar sources said, was a fallout of a meeting between RSS leaders and Modi during which the prime minister is said to have expressed his annoyance at the highdecibel campaign that took the focus away from development and scuppered his government's ambitious legislative agenda.
Singh confirmed to ET that he had decided not to work on any Sangh-related work now. "There has been much pressure on me in the past few days. It has spoiled my health. I want to rest at home now," said the longtime RSS pracharak.
"I don't think I have done anything wrong. Everyone including RSS top leaders had assured me of support earlier. But the Sangh is not strong all the time," Singh told ET.
Several state RSS leaders that ET spoke to said Singh's removal was a fallout of top-level interactions between the RSS and BJP leaderships including Prime Minister Narendra Modi in recent weeks. BJP leaders complained to the RSS leadership that the controversies surrounding conversion were taking the sheen off the government's "development agenda" and prevailed upon the Sangh to send out a message by removing Singh, they said. "All of our conversion programmes are also on hold for now," one RSS functionary in UP told ET. RSS spokesman Manmohan Vaidya confirmed Singh's removal, but said it was a decision made by the UP unit of the Sangh and not because of any pressure.
I agree with Praful Bidwai
who writes, Hindutva trumps 'development'!
Just read:
The first group is emphatically right – not so much because Malaviya was given the award 69 years after he died, which makes little sense, but because the Mahasabha has for a century has propagated and practised virulent Hindu communalism.
It now wants to erect statues of Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse, a wholly disgusting idea, but one which bears continuity with Mahasabha leaders Malaviya, Lajpat Rai and BS Moonje. Moonje visited Mussolini in 1931 and tried to shape the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh along fascist lines.
Malaviya is called the founder of the Banaras Hindu University. But Tejkar Jha, who is researching a book on the BHU, says that Malaviya was at best a "fringe player" in its foundation in 1916, the major role being played by British Theosophist Annie Besant and the Maharaja of Darbhanga.
The government's motive in honouring Malaviya seems narrowly related to Narendra Modi's nomination as the Lok Sabha candidate from Varanasi by his grandson Giridhar. It also seems calculated to impose a Hindutva icon on the public and create a nasty precedent.
What of Vajpayee? He is less extreme than Malaviya. But his intimate relationship with the Ramjanmabhoomi movement, which catapulted the Bharatiya Janata Party from two Lok Sabha seats in 1984 to 85 in 1989, resulted in the demolition of the Babri mosque and a spate of riots in which thousands were killed.
Vajpayee was responsible for India's 1998 nuclear tests and embrace of nuclear deterrence (which India for 50 years had described as a "repugnant" doctrine). This fulfilled a long-term Sangh obsession, but created a dangerous regional environment, triggering an arms race not just with Pakistan, but more damagingly, China.
Vajpayee laid the foundation for communal intolerance, which found its bloodiest expression in the butchery of Muslims in Gujarat in 2002. He first criticised Modi's complicity in it and reminded him of "Rajdharma", but defended him in his infamous 'aag-kisne-lagaayi' speech two months later.
Had Vajpayee himself followed 'Rajdharma', in particular the constitution, he would have dismissed Modi and not allowed assembly elections in Gujarat's communally surcharged climate. These paved the way for the triumph of Hindutva in Gujarat and communal polarisation nationally, which eventually resulted in Modi becoming India's prime minister.
True, after Pokharan Vajpayee made half-hearted attempts at peace with Pakistan, like the Lahore-Delhi bus. But he allowed the Agra summit to be sabotaged. He also ordered a scary 10-month-long military standoff with Pakistan in 2001 costing $2 billion, which achieved nothing.
Similarly, he failed to free the BJP of the RSS' influence and put it on a moderate path when he had a chance to do so. On every critical occasion, Vajpayee proved too timid or too loyal to the Sangh to do the right thing. A dispassionate evaluation of his legacy cannot ignore this largely negative component. On balance, he didn't prove a responsible, if conservative, leader passionately committed to democracy, leave alone a statesman.
Awards apart, the Parivar is making its overbearing influence felt in numerous state institutions, even as its functionaries indulge in hate-speech contrasting ramzadas and haramzadas and in provocative acts including ghar wapsi ('reconversio'') through inducements. For RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, the minorities are "our maal" (goods), stolen by "outsiders", which Hindus have the right to "recover".
The downgrading of Christmas Day as 'good governance' day, to be celebrated on Malaviya-Vajpayee's birth anniversaries, is an assault on religious freedom. Even foreign minister Sushma Swaraj, who has a Socialist past and is sober by BJP standards, has demanded that the Bhagavad Gita be declared India's "national scripture" – a demand that's simply incompatible with the cconstitution, under which the state cannot espouse any religion.
What India is witnessing is the Parivar's concerted campaign to impose a redefinition of the state as essentially Hindu and of citizenship as something based on religion and culture, not civic equality and a participatory community which respects diversity and plurality.
Modi made a few token and ineffectual noises about restraining Parivar-style hate speech but his actions suggest the opposite. Thus he refused the opposition's eminently reasonable demand that he make a statement in parliament on the issue – and held up bills on insurance, coal-mining, land acquisition, etc.
By pushing these measures through ordinances, the government is denigrating parliament, and making democracy dysfunctional. This is the price Hindutva is extracting from India in addition to spreading virulent sectarianism.
The government is drawing protests from businessmen and major chambers of commerce, comprising Modi's wealthiest domestic supporters. They have been joined by self-styled liberals who have turned soft on Modi over the past year. They contrast the BJP's 'economic Right' to its 'cultural Right', and back the first against the second. They all regard the Parivar's anti-minority campaign as an aberration from the 'development' agenda (read, pro-business neoliberal policies), and as some kind of BJP 'self-goal'.
They are profoundly mistaken. Contrary to propaganda, Modi wasn't elected on a 'development' plank. This was mere dressing on its Hindutva agenda, meant to broaden its appeal to the as-yet-non-communalised sections of the middle classes. In 2013-14, the BJP didn't even claim, as it did in earlier years, to have distanced itself from that agenda.
That agenda was implemented through systematic incitement to communal violence, with 247 recorded incidents in 2013 in Uttar Pradesh alone – from Pratapgarh and Faizabad in the east to Allahabad, Bareilly, Bijnore, Mathura and Bulandshahr, and worst of all, Muzaffarnagar westwards.
The RSS was drafted into the BJP election campaign with greater intensity and numbers than ever before, with huge backing from the electronic and social media, and bankrolled by enormous sums, of the same order as that spent in US presidential campaigns.
Hindutva motifs were carefully deployed, as also slogans like 'Pink Revolution' (beef exports) to chide Muslims. As journalist Harish Khare puts it in his new perceptive book How Modi Won It, Modi "succeeded in instigating another Hindu uprising to become Prime Minister".
For the Parivar, as for Modi, the top priority is not job creation, not even economic development, but politics – how to deepen and widen Hindutva's influence and ensure its long-term dominance in India, if necessary by coercion. If there's a clash between promoting growth (or even the economic giveaways promised to Big Business) and furthering the Sangh agenda, the Sangh must take precedence – always.
This poses a new challenge to secular-democratic forces, which cannot be met merely through rational argument and parliamentary debate, important as these are. It demands grassroots mobilisation on issues that concern the core-rights of the people threatened by the Hindutva-dominated neoliberal order.
